An In-App Purchase is required to use all exercises. - SwitchTrainer PRO: All exercises can be used without limitation.

Build Some More is a very early years cause and effect program. It has a wide range of abstract and representational images that build up and animate after 1 - multiple presses. The activities are on a variety of backgrounds to cater to different visual needs of users. Similarly activities can have a variety of background sounds to suit the acoustic requirements of different users. Switch settings are available to permit responses from any switch, alternating switches, random switches or a cooperative switch mode where both switches have to be pressed together (useful for teacher to control the flow of an activity if they have one of the swiches or to get two users to cooperate). Some of the activities are deliberately very strong visually to support user with visual impairments and some use occlusion and animations to encourage visual development/training. Input is from touch, keys, external switches or gamepad. Sensory Build Some More contains no adverts, does not require a subscription and does not collect data.
